Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

Vol 5 Chapter 28: , The incredible island

At dawn the next day, the twisted sunlight came out of the clouds again, as if there was no need to go through the process of sunrise and sunset, and appeared out of nowhere.

Hoffa entered the forest again, this time with two more men beside him. One has blond hair and a rough look. His name is Aldo, he has a bad temper, but when he sees bugs, he is as scared as a child.

And the man with red hair was named Anker. He was feminine and had narrow eyes. He was the guy who didn't forget to stumble himself when he ran in the sea of ​​worms together. It can be said that the wilt is broken.

Although it is reluctant to reach agreements and cooperation with enemies of different camps, it is also helpless under the situation. This reminded him of the Hogwarts War in the wizarding world more than fifty years later. If Voldemort hadn't appeared, perhaps Gryffindor would not cooperate with Slytherin anyway.

After re-entering the forest, the three of them had their nerves tightened to the extreme because of what happened yesterday. They were holding wooden sticks in their hands and crept to their feet, trying not to make any noise.

In the woods, the arthropod insects I saw yesterday were hidden, and some huge slugs squirmed and wriggled on the trunk, leaving a snot-like slimy liquid, shiny.

Hoffa and Anker are not bad, but they are always vigilant about the dangers that may come.

But Aldor couldn't bear it. He walked and his teeth trembled: "It's disgusting...this **** island, every kind of creature is so disgusting."

"Cheer up, Aldo."

Anker said: "It's just some gastropods."

"No bugs will work."

Aldo murmured. His voice just fell off. A slug that was more than half a meter long fell off the tree and opened his sticky tongue to Aldo. As a result of his nervous reflex, he pulled out the stick and patted it heavily, slapped it to death on the ground.

Looking at the body that was still squirming.

Aldo vomited directly, and after he finished vomiting, he said hoarsely: "It's really unusual to be so big, is it a magical creature?"

Anker squatted down, turned over the corpse of the insect, sucked on his finger again, and spit out.

"There is no magic wave, this is not a magical creature."

His disgusting movement almost caused Aldo to faint.

Hoffa touched his chin and fell into contemplation: "Do you think it's a bit weird? Regarding the location of this island."

"what is your viewpoint?"

Anker asked.

"The English Channel should be one of the busiest straits in the world. Don't talk about islands in this kind of strait. I'm afraid that every inch of the bottom of the sea has been excavated. How could such a completely undeveloped strait appear? Primitive island."

Anker immediately retorted: "How can you be sure that this island was formed naturally, maybe it was a secret realm developed by an ancient wizard? It was released by the Muggle expulsion curse, making it impossible for those Muggles to discover it."

"Not a secret."

Hoffa said affirmatively.

"How are you sure that this is not a secret realm."

Anker said.

"I have my own means of distinguishing the secret realm, and there is no need to explain it to you. You only need to know that this place is definitely not a secret realm."

"Sorry, Mr. Bach, I still reserve my opinion. If it weren't for the secret world, it would be impossible for these strange creatures to be born in the natural environment."

"Can you stop arguing, are you still looking for Le May?"

Aldo stuck the stick impatiently and said, "Wait until we find her, maybe there is only one bone left."

Hoffa and Anker stopped arguing about the origin of the island and continued to walk deep into the jungle.

Anker walked in the front and opened the way, Hoffa walked in the middle, and Aldo walked in the back. After walking through a gloomy river swamp full of animal corpses, Anker, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his arm to signal the team to stop.

"Look, there is a house there," he said.

Hoffa and Aldo walked to him when he heard the words. As expected, on the riverbed in front, a three-story wooden house stood alone. The house was crooked, the windows were covered with cobwebs, the chimney was half collapsed, and the walls were on the wall. Covered with moss. It stands alone in a forest of fallen leaves, looks very strange and out of place.

"Sure enough, my guess was correct."

Anker vowed to say: "This must be the building left by the wizard who created this secret realm."

Looking at the weird building, Hoffa also murmured in his heart, could it be that there is really some wizarding secret here, obviously his system has no hints at all.

"Let's go, go and see."

Anker greeted Aldo, intending to enter the house.

"Don't go in."

Aldo said suddenly.

"what's happenin?"

"It's okay, don't...just don't go in."

He lowered his head and stammered.

Anker asked in a puzzled way: "Aldo, what's wrong, you haven't been right since yesterday."

"This is my childhood house."

Aldo said with a pale face.

Aldo said a word, and Hoffa and Anker stopped moving immediately.

Anker: "Your house, what are you kidding about, aren't you from Berlin? How could your house come to such a place?"

"I didn't joke with you, Anker, this wall, this chimney, this courtyard, I will not forget it in fifty years."

"I'm **** your monster dripping mouth," Anker cursed: "Are you crazy? What are you thinking in your mind, can you admit your mistakes?"

"He didn't lie."

Hoffa, who had been silent for a long time, said, "This island is not right, everything is wrong, this masonry, and its style, at first glance, it looks like a house produced during the Weimar Republic in the early twentieth century. This house can only appear on the streets of Berlin. , It is impossible to appear in the primeval forest."

Anker's face was dull, and he listened without saying a word.

Hoffa turned his steps and slowly circled the house.

"If this place was created by a wizard, why did he leave a Muggle-style residential building here? It is meaningless to think about it, unless... the purpose of putting this house here is to give Someone watched it."

Anker: "Aldo, tell me what happened?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Aldo's legs trembled.

"Why are you leaving, is Le May in this house?"

"how could I know!?"

Aldo looked a little excited.

"Then we'll know if we go in and see?" Hoffa said.

"It can't be there, you see this house is broken like this, it looks like someone is staying...erh...!"

He seemed to be pinched by an invisible monster, and he made a trembling and short sound.

I saw an orange candle suddenly lit up in the dilapidated room. The candlelight was warm and bright, but it was creepy in this scene.

Hoffa and Anker glanced at each other, Aldo's thigh twitched and his complexion was pale, standing still on the spot like petrified.

"There are people here."

Anker stepped back slowly: "It's not a good idea to stay here."

Hoffa glanced at him contemptuously, thinking that this guy had just asked his companion why he didn't go in, but when he saw that there was someone inside, he immediately retreated.

However, he despised and despised, he also moved back. Before things became clear, he thought it was better to keep a distance from this weird house.

But just as he and Anker retreated together, Aldor was stunned like a demon, and with a sweaty face, he walked slowly towards the broken house.

"Aldo, I just made a joke. It's not too late to survey before going in." Anker whispered behind him.

However, unheard of, Aldor walked forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the broken house lit by candles.

The door opened suddenly.

A woman wearing a headscarf appeared at the door. She was simple and generous, dressed as a typical European housewife.

"Aldo, are you back?"

"I am back."

Aldo said hoarsely.

"Come in, I just made lunch."

"I... have two friends."

Aldo pointed behind him.

"Friend, that's great, let's come in together."

The woman stood at the door and greeted Hoffa and Anker enthusiastically. This weird picture made Hoffa's scalp numb. After discovering that the person in the house was not Chloe, he just wanted to leave this weird place quickly.

However, inexplicable fog churns out from every corner of the forest, and all the forests are blurred, as if only the dilapidated hut is left in the world.

With cold sweat on Hoffa’s face, he looked at Aldo who was fast entering the house and gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

He strode forward, ahead of Aldor, trying to stop him, but he was caught by the middle-aged woman's wrist. She smiled and held Hoffa with one hand, and Anker with one hand, and pulled them in. The house.

Anker in the distance is already imaginary, he wants to leave here. But no matter which direction he ran, all he could see was the white mist. No matter how far he ran, the house remained motionless when he turned his head.

In the end, there was no alternative, he could only bite the bullet and follow behind Hoffa and Aldo, and got into the weird house.

After entering the house, the middle-aged woman enthusiastically entertained the three of Hoffa, pouring water and making snacks.

But apart from her sincere smile, the atmosphere in the room was extremely weird.

Aldo's expression was complicated, and he was nostalgic, hated, and emotional. Anker's eyes rolled back and forth, sometimes gloomy and sometimes restless. Hoffa lowered his head and turned the cup on the table.

None of the three expressed any opinions on the current situation.

The woman put a box of fruit hard candies on the table, bent her arms around Aldo’s head, and said softly: "Your father has divorced me. No one will beat you anymore, Aldo, don’t mess with you. Is it good to run?"

Aldo nodded mechanically.

The woman let go of him happily and turned to Hoffa.

"You look about the same age as Aldo, are you his classmate?"

Hoffa thought to himself that he didn't look as big as Aldo, and Anker was as big as Aldo.

But in this weird environment, he didn't want to think about the confusion in these details.

He nodded: "Yes."

"What about you?" The woman asked Anker again: "Did you find him?"

Anker smiled forcefully: "Yes, I found him."

"Great, you are so kind."

The woman actually shed tears of gratitude: "I knew that there are still many good people in this world. Let's have a meal together. I cooked beef and potatoes, although they are very simple... By the way, Aldo, I paid it yesterday. There is a very kind girl who will accompany me to send out flyers in Berlin to find you."

Aldo's eyes were dull and his tone was hoarse: "Really?"

The middle-aged woman raised her head and shouted to the upstairs: "Chloe, dear, come down to have a meal together, my child is back."

Hearing her call, a girl with long red hair and lavender eyes ran down on the second floor.

Before she finished the stairs, she saw Hoffa, who was sitting at the dining table, covering her mouth and shouting in amazement: "You...you, why are you here too!?"

Hoffa stood up like an electric shock, Anker also stood up, and the two aimed at the kitchen knife in the kitchen at the same time.

The peaceful appearance that they had just worked hard to create was torn to pieces in an instant. They had the same thing in their minds. Whoever grabs the kitchen knife first is the boss.

Aldor secretly took Anker's palm and whispered, "Don't be here..."

His voice actually brought a rare hint of pleading.

Anker was unmoved, he shook his palms away, standing on the spot like a stone pillar, and the eyes of the ugly bird kept turning between Chloe and Hoffa.

Eventually Hoffa gave up the idea of ​​grabbing the kitchen knife and took the lead to sit down. He let out a long sigh of relief and murmured, "I understand."

The middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen carrying a pot and greeted the three enthusiastically.

"Come, sit down, Chloe, when you finish eating, I will take you to the nearby police station."

Chloe ran to the middle-aged woman and said in surprise: "Who is your child?"

The middle-aged woman pointed at Aldo: "Look, it looks exactly like the one on the flyer, isn't it cute?"

Chloe exclaimed: "He is almost as old as you!"

The woman looked at her confused, as if she didn't know what she was talking about.

Aldo: "Shut up, Le May!!" Then he said to the middle-aged woman: "Can I and my friends say a few words separately?"

The woman was a little surprised, and then relieved: "Of course, dear."

She turned and walked out the door, closing the door.

As soon as the middle-aged woman left, the small kitchen seemed to blow the horn of chaos. Everything is on the verge of loss of control and chaos.

Anker yelled first: "Damn it, Aldo, that's your mother? Didn't you say that your mother died long ago, so what is that woman, a ghost?"
